After so much time here we are again, life got in the way and I had zero motivation and inspiration to write again.
I wanted to say big thank you to my beta Hmz0975 :)
I woke up feeling excited, I couldn't wait to see Tanya again. But first I needed to come up with plan to get her for yesterday's kiss. Deciding to think about it while getting ready in the bathroom; I wanted to ask her out this time, but I didn't really know of where I wanted to take her. Somehow, I knew that anything would be fine, but I wanted to make it perfect for her. She deserves that. Deciding to find out more about her interests today and then making my mind on our date destination, I smiled.
I just then remembered that I needed to call Leah to find out of what did she decide to do and when can I expect her here. Now that I think about it, I didn't tell Tanya about Leah and that she will move in with me. I felt happy just thinking about heaving two of my favorite persons with me; my best friend and hopefully, my girlfriend.
I was having my inner dance party when I saw something that immediately stopped the music, on my cabinet was a box of tampons. I had forgotten that my period is late, not by much but still late and that is something that rarely happens to me. Maybe from all the stress of moving and everything, yes that must be it. I will wait and see I will surely get my period soon; I don't need to be alarmed. Yet.
While I was putting my make-up on, my mind was still going on about my period, but I didn't have time to worry about that. All that will upset my stomach more, and I don't want to feel sick anymore.
After shower I dressed myself and put on a light make-up, then went to make myself a nice breakfast. I didn't feel nauseated which made me really happy, so I went for eggs with bacon. Something that I loved, I could eat it every day, which probably is not so great for me.
Pulling my phone out I selected Leah and dialled the number to call her. I waited a long time for her to pick up, futilely. I decided to try again, but still nothing. Maybe she forgot her phone and already went out, I will try to get her when I return home. Something of this sort was unusual for her, but it could happen.
Not long after I heard a car pulling in on my driveway, must be Tanya, I deduced, and so I went ahead to put my shoes and coat on. When I opened my door, she was already standing in front of me, smiling, blinging me with her teeth like a Sun. "My lady," she said, leaning down to kiss my cheek. It would be a lie to say that I didn't want her to change the ultimate destination of her kiss, but I didn't complain. A kiss on my cheek still counts and it was a great way to start my day, either way.
"Good morning, Tanya," I said and took her hand into mine. I wanted to be clear that I hadn't change my mind, I still wanted to get to know her better. To be honest, I wanted to be with her but didn't want to seem like a crazy lady, I can take this slow. I think.
"Before we head to work, would you mind if my sister comes by to look at your car, she told me she was free today?" she asked me. "That would be great, I hope it won't bother her much, but she would save me time and money, and I would be very grateful for that." I responded hesitantly.
"Great, she will come by when we will be at school and hopefully finish by the time we come back, so you can meet her." she had a honest smile on her face, I knew that Kate was very close to her, so us to meeting was important to Tanya.
"I would be very happy to meet her, also I need to think of something to express my gratitude for fixing my car." I said to her, but as soon as I realized that I would be meeting her sister, I started to get nervous; what if she doesn't like me. First impressions are very important, she is Tanya's family, after all.
Tanya saw that something was bothering me, she sensed the change in my mood, not that it took much to, so she took my face in her hands, as gently as one could, making me look into her eyes. "You don't need to worry…" she started to say, but I interrupted her. "How did you notice?" How could she tell with so much surety of what was bothering me?
She smirked, leaned in and captured my lips with hers. Like yesterday, I noticed that her lips were cold, but did not mind one second. She probably meant to simply peck my lips, but I had other plans. As soon as I felt her lips on mine, I started to move to meet her lips. And it didn't take a long time for our kiss to become heated. She moved her hand to the back of my neck, taking a handful of my hair in her fist, and slightly pulled back. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my mouth, nor the wetness that started to gather in my nether regions. She took that as an invitation and slipped her tongue into my mouth, starting to explore. Even if she showed me that she was in control of the kiss, I couldn't help myself, I never backed down from the challenge. My hands started to travel south on her back, while one hand stayed on her waist, other started to move towards her ass. And let me tell you, it was the best ass that I have ever felt in my life. I grabbed it and squeezed it tight, it was so firm yet so soft. When I squeezed her ass, it was her time to moan back, and when I heard that heavenly sound, I couldn't let it go and started to get into it more. But suddenly, Tanya broke off our kiss, her hand still resting in my hair. We were breathing heavily, trying to catch our breath. We were looking each other in the eyes, when I noticed that her eyes were completely black, and I mean completely pitch-black dark.
She noticed the curiosity in my eyes, so she let me go and took one step back. She looked at floor, trying to calm herself as she took a couple of big breath, but ended up laughing as she did that. I faintly heard her say. "Not helping…" as if she was telling an internal joke.
While she was doing that, I was calming myself, although not very successfully, I must clarify. I don't remember when the last time was when someone made me so hot and horny, I honestly considered going back to the house and changing my innerwear- it desperately needed the change, trust me.
"What are you doing to me, Tanya?" I asked her. She must be same sort of a witch to garner such a reaction from me. "What kind of a spell do you have me under?" she looked at me with a serious expression on her face when I said that, and I noticed that her eyes had returned to their normal color, I mean normal for her. I don't think that gold eyes were normal from any angle.
"The same one that you have me under, Bella, the best kind of one. I don't think you realize of what you are doing to me." she looked vulnerable while saying that. And everything in me wanted to protect her, shield her while in this state. Even though no one was around, I did just that, I reached for her and pulled her in for a hug. I held her for a while and then said, "Well at least we are in this together, whatever this spell might be," kissing her lips very softly, as if I could break her with the mere strength that I held.
She let out a very relaxed hum; I could feel her completely relaxing in my arms, so we stayed like that for a few long minutes. Then she pulled back and said, "As much as I want to stay here, we need to head to work or we will be late." Damn it, I had forgotten about school.
"You are right," I said with a pout on my face, which put a smile on hers. "Come on," she took my hand and pulled me toward her car. As soon I entered her car, she turned up the heat and I appreciated that. She turned down the volume on the radio, till it was nothing more than a soft sound in the background.
"Just so you know, you don't need to worry, I'm sure that Kate will love you," her convincing voice left me with little room for doubt.
"I know, but I'm still a little nervous, as is expected to be. I know that you are close to her and I want her to have a good opinion of me. I mean what if she doesn't like me. I don't want to be a problem to your relationship." I honestly don't know of why Kate's opinion mattered so much to me, usually I was very secure in myself, I know that I am awesome, you know? Part of the problem though, was what I said to Tanya; I don't want to be a problem for her if Kate didn't like me. I didn't want to push her towards the unfavorable situation of having to choose between the two of us.
"I repeat, don't worry, I've been telling Kate all about you from the first day itself, and she already has a great opinion of you. I know that everything will be great." She took my hand and kissed it, reassuringly.
"Thank you, you read me so well, we have known each other only for a few days, it's scary." she just smiled at that and whispered, "It's my secret power." and laughed. But you see, I knew there was something else, because I could read her as well. There was something else, and something told me not to push it, she will tell me on her own.
I decided not to comment anything else, so we spent the rest of the ride in silence, holding hands the entire time and enjoying music that came softly from the speakers.
As we pulled up at the school parking lot, she hurried, and went to open my doors for me. "You will spoil me if you keep doing this," I smirked to which she returned, winking seductively. "That is my goal." and kissed my hand which had me blushing.
We walked towards the school, with our shoulders touching, I wanted to grab her hand, but I stopped myself, we were not official yet, and I knew that she was a very private person. I didn't know if she wanted people from school to know anything, for that matter. But as I was thinking about that, she grabbed my hand in hers, interlinking our fingers. I looked at her in question, her reassuring smile being my answer, she did not wish to hide it. I was beaming at that, I wasn't someone that would make out or do anything inappropriate in public; my private business was a matter of priority, but I also didn't want to hide.
There were wondering eyes around, but nothing more than that, thankfully. I think they were surprised to see Tanya with someone. We didn't pay attention to them. She accompanied me to my classroom. "Will you join me at lunch, my lady?" she asked me, to which I replied, "Of course, it would be my pleasure."
She gave me a smile then turned and headed towards her classroom. I entered my class with a dreamy smile on my lips. Who would have thought that moving to Denali would turn out this way? I prepared for my first class, focusing on my work, even if thoughts about Tanya slipped to my mind occasionally.
Time flew by, and before I even knew it, it was time for lunch. I dismissed my class, went to gather my things and like yesterday, Tanya was already waiting for me at my door. She smiled, took my handbag in one and my hand in the other hand. "Would you be willing to go to a restaurant with me? We could always have lunch here, but I wanted to suggest a more private place?"
"That is a great idea, lead the way," I smiled at her thoughtful idea. I didn't want to deal with the prying eyes from our colleagues, there would be time for that, but today wasn't one of those days. As we were walking to Tanya's car, there were more prying eyes as more students passed us by. I could almost hear the gossip starting to spread, but that was inevitable, unfortunately.
We got to the car and Tanya went to open my door, as we headed towards the restaurant. Journey wasn't long, it took us hardly a couple of minutes. It was a simple Italian place, simply yet almost cozy. "If you would like to go somewhere else, I'm happy to take you," she hesitated. "But this was the closest place and I didn't want to lose time at the journey. "
"Don't worry," I smiled back. "I like Italian food." As I started to get out of the car, she was already opening my door for me. How the hell was she so fast? "How did you get here so fast?" I asked her.
"It's one of my gifts," she said with a smirk. "I can't wait to find them all." I grinned wide, leaning in and kissing her, taking her bottom lip with my teeth as I was pulling back, before heading towards restaurant with a smile on my lips. She quickly caught me. "I told you I will get you somehow." I told her, a laugh on my lips.
"Well played, my lady, well played. But I have to warn you," she leaned in, put her lips near my ear, which was my weak spot and whispered, "I play dirty," and then she moved back and went to open the door for me.
She led me to the farthest and most private table, helping me take of my coat, pulling my chair out and helping me sit. "Thank you," I said to her. This thing made me fall for her even more.
We didn't wait long before the waiter came. After we ordered, Tanya took my hand in hers. "I hope that it doesn't bother you when I hold your hand, but I can't stop myself when it comes to you. I have this need to have a physical contact with you whenever I can." I could tell that she was in slight doubt, fearing that I would tell her that I do mind.
I slowly kissed her hand. "I don't mind in the slightest… your touch keeps reassuring me that this is real, and that you feel the same as me." I told her honestly. Her eyes warmed up when she heard me, her lips gave me shy smile.
"I was hoping to hear more about you, your family, how did you end up here in Alaska, I want to hear everything that you are willing to tell." she told me.
"Well, my life is not that very interesting, but I will tell you." While I was telling her that, the waiter came by with our drinks. "Thank you," I said to him.
"I was born in Forks, small town in Washington state, my parents Renee and Charlie divorced when I was 4 years old. Renee took me with her to Phoenix, Arizona." She asked me "Did you want to stay in Forks?"
"Well, I loved Forks, every time that I visited, I had a splendid time, my friends were there, my dad was there, but I needed and wanted to stay with my mother. Charlie had a great community behind him, but she would be all alone. So, I decided to stay with her, she surprised me when she met her new husband Phil. When he entered our lives, I decided that it was time for me to move in with Charlie, it was around the time I started high school." I finished.
"You are close to him?" she asked me, but I could sense that her question meant something more than mere curiosity.
"Yes, he is great, I mean I do not tell him all of my secrets and that stuff, nor does he ask much, he is very silent guy, but he gets me and supports me no matter what. I know I can count on him." I answered, truly believing every word that I had just spoken.
"And your mom?" I laughed, how was I supposed to answer that? "My mom…. Hmm, my mom is a very old child, most of the time it was me who took care of her; she never grew up. She was always acting more like my sister, not my mother." Now that I was talking about her, I realized that I never made peace with that. It still bothered me, I love her, but she wasn't mother I needed. Tanya saw the change in me, so she got up, kneeling beside me, hugging me. Offering me her support. "I didn't mean to sadden you," she told me, and I could see that she was biting herself up for this. I took her chin and gave her a gentle kiss "Do not worry, I haven't talked about her in a very long time, I didn't realize how much this still bothers me. This is something I still need to work through."
"If you ever want to talk about her, I will always listen." she gave me a small kiss and went back to her chair. She returned to her seat just in time for our food to arrive, the waiter placing out our order in front of us.
I immediately dug in, I forgot how hungry I was, but I continued to tell her my story. "As I was saying, I have lived with Charlie since high school. I loved it there, my friend group was pretty large, we had some pretty wild times together. Then I decided to collage in the town nearby. That was even crazier time than high school. I must admit, Leah and I were crazy party animals," all the memories and all the blank out nights that Leah and I had made me smile.
I didn't pay attention to Tanya as I was saying that; I was looking at my food. If I did pay attention, I would see her face changing.
"Who is Leah?" she asked me, and I immediately looked up. I could see that she was trying to appear not so interested, but I could see through the façade. I just started laughing, which she didn't take too well from the frown on her face.
"I'm sorry for laughing," I told her, when I finally stopped laughing. "Don't be jealous," which she immediately started to deny, but I stopped her. "Do not worry, Leah is my best friend, sister from another mister, my sidekick and soon my stepsister," as I was saying that I could see her relax and the frown that she had on her face, disappearing.
"For the record, I was not jealous." like I believed her for even one second. "I just don't like to picture you with anybody else, I'm quite possessive, you know." I don't mind healthy dose of possessiveness. I also didn't want to picture Tanya with anybody else. "You don't have to worry; I'm only interested in you." I said to her.
"Bella, I wanted to ask you something and I know that this is early, but it feels right." She took my hand in hers. "I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend. Would you do me the honor and become my girlfriend? I promise that I would treat you right, I will always take care of you." She was so sure in herself, I believed her every word, because it felt right, because I felt the same about her. I guess the myth about lesbians is true.
"It would be my honor," I said to her, and it was like I told her that she had won the lottery, her happiness was radiant. I couldn't help myself when I got up and went to grab her so I could kiss her. She didn't resist, not even a little bit. We didn't stop until we heard someone clearing their throat behind us. It was the waiter. We pulled apart and apologized, there weren't that many people in the restaurant but still.
He wanted to ask if we would like something else, but we declined. It was time to head back to school. I was on a cloud nine, this angel was my girlfriend, she was mine.
When we entered the car she said, "I want to know more about Leah, I can tell she is important to you." and It made me so happy to know that she was interested in knowing more about the people important to me.
"I will tell you more, in fact she might come to live with me. I hope that she comes." I said to her.
"How come?" she asked.
"I will tell you another time, it is a very sad story and I need little more time for that." she gave me a reassuring smile.
We got to the school, she accompanied me to my classroom and said, "I will see you after your classes," with a smile on her lips. "You got it, babe," I told her, now that she is my girlfriend, I get to call her that.
"Babe? Hmm, I like it." she left me with that. I smiled and didn't stop for the rest of the day. I was in such a good mood that nothing could change it.
After I finished, Tanya was waiting for me at my door, so we headed home. In the car she asked me, "Would you like to come tomorrow to my place to meet my family? I mean after work. We could have dinner at my place?"
"That sounds great," I said with a smile. We started to chat about our day, and before I knew it, we arrived at my place.
"Kate is here," Tanya told me, and with that my heart started to speed up. Like she heard it, "Do not worry," she told me. She opened my door, took my hand and led me to my car, which had popped up hood, and someone leaning in.
"Kate!" Tanya shouted. "Come here, meet Bella," soon the hood was closed, and I froze at my place.
As soon as I saw the women behind my car, no not women, the goddess, my heart did the same thing it did when meeting Tanya. It stopped for a second, and then skipped a few beats. This woman was a literal goddess. I simply stood there and stared, for God knows how long. The Goddess before me had the same eyes as Tanya's, only more yellow in them, I could watch them for eternity, and they were watching me, with such a strong intensity, so much passion. I was in this state for some time, until I heard some animalistic sound coming left from me, right where Tanya stood.
Tanya! I forgot that she was there. I looked at her, and her face was pure rage, and it was directed at Kate. It was like she wanted to punch her or something, and I didn't know why. Again, I looked at the goddess, but she was not looking at me, she was looking at Tanya in the eyes with the same rage, as her. And as soon as I saw that- my heart was breaking, something in me was telling me that this couldn't be more wrong. I needed to make it stop. Why, I didn't know but it needed to stop.
I squeezed Tanya's hand, hopping to turn her attention to me. And It worked, she looked at me, and her eyes immediately softened, but they did not lose all the rage in them, even if I somehow knew that that rage wasn't directed at me. Tanya then placed her hand at my hip and pulled me in, not that I minded, but why would she do that now?
I just turned to look at Kate who had a murderous look in her eyes and it was directed at Tanya or the place that Tanya was touching me.
What the hell is happening here!? I looked at Kate again, our eyes meeting once more, my heart skipped again, and I could feel a pull towards her, like a tugging in my heart, but now in two directions simultaneously. Which is impossible. I quickly removed that thought from my mind. But her whole mood shifted when she looked at me. Her eyes don't look murderous now, they are shining with want and happiness, and a smile lit up her face, flashing her white teeth. She could be on a commercial for toothpaste.
It took me a while to sort my thoughts, but then I remember, she is Tanya's sister, I need to introduce myself to her. And then find out what was this is all about.
I tried to step towards her, but Tanya was firmly holding me at my place, what was going on with her? I shot her a stern look, and she reluctantly let me move, but she moved with me. Deciding to let go of that for a moment, I shook my head, and turned and smiled at Kate, I outstretched my hand to meet hers, noticing that Tanya had stiffened at the action.
The moment that we touched I felt an electric wave in my whole body, her hand was so soft, but cold like Tanya's, must be in the family. "It's nice to meet you K-Kate, I'm Bella," I ended up saying, hoping that I didn't embarrass myself in front of her.
"The pleasure is all mine, Bella," she said my name differently, it had a different accent than I was used to. "I've been waiting to meet you for so long," it was strange to hear that, I had known her sister for hardly a few days.
"I wanted to thank you for checking my car, I hope it wasn't a big trouble for you." I said to her, grateful for her effort.
"You are welcome, Bella, but I will need to think of something so you can repay me." She told me, with a smirk on her lips and a playful glint in her eyes. I didn't know what to think about her statement, I could always give her money for her work, but I don't think she was talking about money here.
"I will be happy to repay you for your work, you saved me, and you saved your sister, she doesn't need to drive me around anymore." I turn towards Tanya who had a serious look on her face and was still looking at her sister. I couldn't read her at the moment. She felt that I was looking at her, so she turned to me, gave me a small smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. My heart was breaking from seeing her like that, so I decided to kiss her, very softly to reassure her, but I didn't know what I was reassuring her about.
"Bella, Kate and I need to head back home, something came up, I will see you tomorrow and we will have diner at my place, ok?" she said in hurry, leaned in for the hug and held me more time than normal. Then she looked at Kate and said in a firm, commanding tone that didn't leave room for anything else. "Come on, follow me, we are heading home." She waited until Kate passed us, almost like shielding me from her. Kate was looking at me the whole time she was walking, like a predator, a look I have seen on Tanya's face before.
"Can't wait to see you again, Bella," Kate said as she entered her car, with a smirk on her lips. Tanya was heading towards her own car, and before she entered, she said, "See you tomorrow, my lady,"
I was so stunned at what had just happened that I barely managed to whisper, "See you, babe," as they were driving away.
WHAT THE HELL HAD JUST HAPPENED!? Was the only thought in my head at the moment.
Let me know what you think, and if you are interested in Tanyas POV in the next chapter.
Thank you for reading!
